2012 NETA Contest Information

I have been in education for 35 years. I have a BA degree in Elementary Education; an endorsement in Gifted Education and a Masters degree in Instructional Technology. After 25 years with the Omaha Public Schools I retired wanting to work part time and not knowing where the Lord would lead me. Coming to All Saints was meant to be and I truly believe was of God.

I have a love for technology and designing and creating lessons and projects that are fun, innovative. require inventive thinking, digital literacy, and the practice of basic word processing. The computer lab at All Saints is a very busy place. Grades 3-8 have two 45-minute classes a week while pre-k-2nd come for 30-40 minutes once a week.

My goal is to always have a well-planned educational environment centered around state and national standards for technology. It is my prayer that I can prepare students for the future by having an active learning environment and being an enthusiastic teacher. Just as Jesus Christ walked the Sea of Galilee asking fisherman to follow him and be Caught in His Net may students be Caught in the Net of being respectful, responsible citizens prepared for a global world.

This web page has been created to share technology links of information and educational games/puzzles for school and home. Enjoy!
